AI contract review for Indian counsel.
Upload a contract. Get a clause-by-clause risk analysis, plain-English summary, suggested redlines, and verified citations — in 6 minutes, not 6 hours.
Clauseium reads contracts the way an experienced Indian in-house counsel would: section by section, flagging where the deal deviates from market practice, where the language fails Indian Contract Act enforceability, where DPDP obligations are missing, and where your own playbook would push back. Every citation is verified against Indian Kanoon and India Code before it appears in your review.
What it does for you.
Grounded in Indian law, not US precedents
Every analysis cites the Indian Contract Act, 1872, the DPDP Act, 2023, the Companies Act, 2013, FEMA 1999, the IT Act 2000, the Arbitration Act 1996, and the Indian Stamp Act, 1899. We don't hallucinate state-by-state US rules into Indian contracts.
Three-stage citation verification
Citations are verified at extraction, at retrieval, and at output. If the AI cannot match a referenced section against our live legal corpus, the citation is suppressed before you ever see it. Zero hallucinated citations.
Your playbook, enforced automatically
Upload your firm's standard positions — indemnity caps, liability limits, payment terms, IP language. Clauseium flags every clause that deviates from your playbook, not just generic best practices.
Six minutes, not six hours
A 40-page MSA returns clause analysis, risk flags, suggested redlines, and citations in under 6 minutes. The Word add-in lets you accept or modify changes without leaving the document.
How it works.
- Step 1
Upload
Drag and drop a Word or PDF contract — counterparty paper, your own draft, or a marked-up redline. Up to 100 pages per file.
- Step 2
Analyze
Clauseium identifies clauses, classifies them by type (indemnity, LoL, IP, termination, payment), and runs each through the Indian-law risk engine.
- Step 3
Review
See a three-pane interface: document viewer, clause analysis with risk badges (High / Medium / Low), citations panel with the underlying statute or case law.
- Step 4
Redline
Accept suggested redlines as track changes in Microsoft Word. Or use Clauseium's clause drafter to rewrite a clause to match your playbook.
- Step 5
Export
Export the redlined Word document, the analysis report (PDF), and the citation list — ready to share with the business team or counterparty.

FAQ
AI Contract Review for Indian Counsel — questions, answered.
- How does AI contract review work in Clauseium?
- Clauseium uses a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline grounded in Indian Kanoon (16M+ judgments), the full India Code, the DPDP Act 2023 and Rules 2025, RBI Master Directions, and SEBI Regulations. Every clause is parsed, classified, run through the Indian-law risk engine, and matched against your playbook. Citations are verified before display.
- Is AI contract review accurate enough for Indian commercial contracts?
- Our accuracy benchmarks against a 50-contract test set hand-reviewed by Bar Council-enrolled advocates show 94% precision on risk identification and 98% precision on citation accuracy. Clauseium augments human review; it does not replace counsel for novel transactions or significant deal value.
- How is this different from ChatGPT or Claude?
- ChatGPT and Claude are general-purpose models with no grounding in Indian law. They hallucinate Section numbers, cite repealed statutes, and apply US contract concepts to Indian deals. Clauseium is purpose-built: every output is grounded in our Indian legal corpus, and every citation is verified against the live source before display.
- Does Clauseium replace my outside counsel?
- No. Clauseium accelerates the routine 80% of contract review — playbook compliance, clause-by-clause risk, citation work — so your team can focus on the bespoke 20% that needs senior judgment. Several of our customers use Clauseium for first-pass review and route flagged contracts to outside counsel.
- What contract types does Clauseium handle?
- Vendor agreements, SaaS subscription agreements, MSAs, NDAs, employment contracts, consulting agreements, distribution agreements, license agreements, IP assignment agreements, and most commercial contracts under Indian law. We do not currently handle litigation pleadings, conveyance deeds, or family-law instruments.
- How does pricing scale with contract volume?
- Counsel tier (₹2,999/user/month) includes 50 reviews/month. Chambers and Enterprise are unlimited. We don't charge per-contract or per-page fees. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.
